Sudden hearing loss one ear

I woke this morning pretty much deaf in one ear. I've put it to the back of my mind all day but sitting watching TV nw and it feels very strange.Sure it's just a build up of wax or something but do I need to see a GP?

I had the same thing this week, my mum told me to get sodium bicarbonate (or bicarbonate of soda-is this the same thing?) drops from boots, it really worked after a few goes. Made my ear feel a bit nasty and runny though!

Actually I would go and see your GP or practice nurse to have a quick look in your ear. It probably is just wax, but sudden one sided hearing loss can be a sign of something more serious, so it's worth getting to the GP surgery. The practice nurse would be able to tell you if it's wax and if it isn't, it would warrant further investigation.
